Chapter 115 The decline of Agatha's kingdom, the collapse of the emperor's faith, and the last queen.
The knights here were seriously injured. There were dozens of them who could be legally judged to be seriously injured. Their arms and thighs were completely torn off. Those seemingly powerful plate armors were not even comparable to the canned packaging used by the Astra Militarum. After all, their The armor cannot withstand being dropped by a fighter jet from low-Earth orbit or a thousand-meter altitude.
In wartime situations, Imperial items can show amazing durability, and even the clothes of the Astra Militarum will become difficult to tear.
Alan Bair looked at the knights in front of him being beaten by the orcs. Although the orcs had no iron weapons, they were so powerful that they could hit the plate armored knights with their bare hands until their heads were buzzing.
"Loyal citizens of the Empire, I am not the God Emperor. We are the Astra Militarum, the Imperial Guard, the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment, and the 113th Armored Regiment of Phlaxia. I am the commander of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Alan Bair."< br>
"He is the senior staff officer of the regiment, and this is the regiment's sentinel mecha."
Alan Beyer realized something was wrong. "Second Lieutenant, what are you doing?"
The huge sentinel mecha stepped on the soft plain land, and the war engines got off the transport ship one after another. Those terrifying armored engines made the knights kneel down. Even the seriously injured warriors dismounted and crawled on their bodies.
They were mumbling words. "O Emperor! The Emperor has appeared! Agatha can be saved!"
"It's the engine of the gods, it's the engine of the gods!"
Alan Bayer just asked. "Captain, why did you get off the ship? We haven't reached our destination yet."
replied the captain. "Boss, my communicator has found a strange electrical signal, but it seems to be a visual signal and I can't play it."
"The communication team, link to the second lieutenant's mecha and broadcast the information." the lieutenant colonel said.
After a while, various complex equipment and promethium generators emitted thick smoke and an unpleasant smell in this broken place. The noble girl who was praying just now couldn't help but cover her nose and step back, but Ailan Bayer likes it, this is the smell of war.
The complete set of communication equipment is fully capable of playing star maps, so it can project three-dimensional images. This is something that the Imperial Guard only asks the Mechanicus Priests to do when conveying important goals. The Mechanicus girls in the Alan Bair regiment carefully adjusted it. Looking at those things, vague shadows gradually appeared.
It was a heretical eight-pointed star, a symbol representing the power of chaos, but in the middle was an eyeball, which played the noblest High Gothic language. If Alan Byer hadn't been an imperial school-level officer, he studied with the state priest in Karu City. However, coupled with the teaching accuracy of the Dark Age instruments, he probably couldn't understand it either.
The heretic spoke slowly, and the red brass eyeballs seemed to be suspended on the projector as if they were soaked in magma.
"Brothers of War, I am the Lord of the Void, an outcast from the Empire, a Space Marine, serving the Lord of Courage, my name is So..."
The chaos, the noise, the frightened eyes of the knights and the pointing of the noble girl, she pointed at the terrible image and cursed again and again. "Devil!"
The technical priest girl tilted her head. The equipment she maintained rarely made mistakes. She immediately mixed out essential oils, aromatherapy, and sang binary native dialects to appease the machine soul, but Alan Bayer came directly.
Then he kicked it in front of everyone, and with a click, the sound of mechanical jamming disappeared completely, and the image continued to play. "I am Sauron! The lord of the earth where the stars meet, I have completely controlled a beautiful empire world. Anyone who serves the highest heaven can come!"
The picture gradually blurred, and then began to repeat. The noble girl stumbled and pointed at the picture. "The devil, this devil, the Lord of Darkness, took away our home, the Kingdom of Agatha." She covered her cheeks and cried, her delicate face and white long hair stained with filth from war and escape.
Alan Bayer touched the sparse beard on his chin and said again. "Medical soldiers, treat the citizens of the empire, no, they count as PDFs?"
"Anyway, let's get some treatment."
The two medical soldiers were familiar with the situation. Not to mention that the Imperial Guard's medical treatment was not good. If you only looked at injuries caused by injuries, then they were both good doctors who had been sick for a long time. Of course, the Imperial Guard's military doctors were better at maintaining combat effectiveness than saving lives and healing the wounded.
As long as you are not dead, you can go to see the emperor with a sip of stimulants, something, and a weapon, but there is nothing you can do about being disabled.
But if you meet a war priest, don't even think about coming back. After listening to the prayer, take some stimulants and see if you can take away two more heretics.
Those knights were lucky today. They met all doctors, or soldiers who were barely doctors. At least they wouldn't die.
Following the emperor's syringe, the emperor's gift of tonics, painkillers, and artificial skin were injected, sutures were sutured, and the limbs that were partially broken were immediately amputated. With the help of stimulants, the emperor's soldiers quickly became more alive and vigorous. Although this "Medical treatment" is not perfect, but it still makes the noble girls and knights in the feudal world marvel.
"What's your name, and what position do you hold in this world?" Ella Bair asked, watching the former knight wave his "recovered" arm with admiration, and then being scolded by the military doctor.
"Leo Conti, Lilith, Master Leo Conti!" She continued speaking with firm eyes as she took a step forward. "I am the 15th Queen of the Kingdom of Agatha, a loyal believer of the Emperor, and the ruler of this world appointed by Him!"
"My family, Leo Conti, existed when the Emperor's divine army entered this land. They wiped out the orcs for us, drove away the Eldar, gave us the capital to settle down, and left because of their long career. The O'Conti family was chosen by the Emperor from that time on, as the guardians of this world, to enshrine the 11 gods of his great empire."
Ella Bair replied. "Logar must have something in common with you." Lilith asked. "My lord, who is Luojia?" He did not answer, but continued to ask. "So as a planetary governor and an ancient imperial noble, why are you living here, and you still pay 11 taxes, then the empire should have troops coming?"
Lilith replied. "Sir, the last time we recorded the landing of the Emperor's Divine Soldiers was 900 years ago. They forcibly took away the 11 divine offerings that the Kingdom of Kirigir had accumulated for thousands of years, and almost destroyed the entire Kingdom of Kirigir. Therefore, the Kingdom of Agatha was born. , we have always regarded aliens as servants of gods, but it was not until 50 years ago that the great devil Sauron came. He slipped from the sky and had powerful power to integrate humans who were willing to worship evil and a large number of orcs. "
"During this period, the Kingdom of Agatha was experiencing constant deaths and population losses, and the 11 sacred offerings that had been accumulated for 900 years were completely buried in the kingdom."
"The emergence of our kingdom is the emperor's will, sir. Now that damn Mason Kingdom has united with the orcs and completely taken away the entire world. I should die to apologize, but if I also go to the Golden Throne, the Kingdom of Agatha and The faith in the Emperor will disappear completely."
Alan Bair clarified the situation. First of all, this is a human world that joined the Empire during the Great Crusade. It was once inhabited by Eldar and Orcs, but now there are only Orcs. It seems that it has experienced many kingdom changes, probably because of the Empire's 11 taxes and long collection of taxes. The span made them regard the 11 taxes as divine punishment, and the Kingdom of Agatha was born under such circumstances, a world of humans that extremely worshiped the emperor and the empire.
Then one day the Chaos Space Marines landed and the situation gradually worsened. Think about it this way, the world may lack fuel, otherwise there would be no steam engine. The stable world environment prevents organisms from transforming in the soil, and finally there is no oil and coal.
Therefore, this world has been unable to progress for 10,000 years, and civilization has been destroyed time and time again by orcs, empires, and various monsters and monsters, and finally turned into such a sad state.
"I probably understand, that is to say, there are heretics, there are aliens, and there are also good things to do with the aliens and heretics?" Alan Bayer turned around and asked. "Staff officer, according to the Imperial Guard manual, how to deal with such a situation?"
said the staff officer. "Kill without mercy."
"Very good, it's pretty much what I thought. But now we should collect tactical intelligence, call PDF over, and ask him to report the main recapture locations, traffic arteries, and the approximate number of enemies." Alan Bayer calmly analyzed the situation. Here he is in the same situation as Colonel Lane, or in other words, as an outstanding officer in the empire, vigilant, bold, and practical.
After a while, a knight came over, with a full set of plate armor and his gleaming sword. He looked macho compared to that, but those things might not be able to withstand a shot from a recruit of the Imperial Guard, so they just looked good.
Then he handed over a set of strategic drawings. The painting style was extremely abstract and medieval. The mountains and water were not only animated, but there were also places marked with evil dragons...
"Sir, is this what you use to fight?" Alan Bayer asked uncertainly, and the other person nodded. "Drawed by the best engineers, clearly marking important strategic locations."
Alan Bayer turned to his staff and said. "Find someone to take a confession. Don't even think about leaving today, my God..."
Next, the person who was able to take the greenskin's confession felt the gap between the times. The Blood Ax Orcs at least understood the coordinates, longitude and latitude, but the medieval knight in front of him had no idea about those things.
He can only give rough information about where the river is and where the city is, and those details can only be obtained by slowly asking and comparing slowly.
Therefore, it took a whole afternoon for the not-so-complicated battle to bear fruit. First of all, there were only about 50,000 enemies and 10,000 greenskins. The others were all cultists. They were not very numerous, but they were detestable.
Agatha's capital, called White City, is now occupied, but the enemy's home base is not in White City, but on an active volcano in the westernmost part of the world's continent. It is the Doomsday Castle, in which the terrifying Demon King lives. , and there are legends that the devil has a metal horse that can travel thousands of miles a day.
Alan Bair guessed that it was probably the motorcycle of the Space Marine... This guy may have been with White Scar?
In short, by the time the information was compiled, crackling flames had risen at night. The nights in the plains were not cold, but the temperature always made people comfortable. The trees in this world are somewhat similar to ferns, but they are very dry, so they are very suitable. It is used as fuel, but the temperature is not high and it is not suitable for building houses.
The weapons and houses in this world are all made of metal and marble, full of medieval style. As for trees, only their legendary slender human subspecies wearing green leaves can use trees as materials.
Alan Bair couldn't help but want to complain. Before, it was the great devil Sauron and the White City, such an iconic "Lord of the Rings" style product. What kind of green elf is he now? He asked. "Is there a land where dwarf humans live, who love food, comfort, and are carefree?"
Lilith replied. "Are you talking about the Hobihars? I didn't expect the empire's divine soldiers to understand our world so well."
As a noble, she has been learning about the void since she was a child, and she does not even care about her people. For Agatha's nobles, it is more important to please the empire than to let people produce well.
It is precisely because of this that they will show their obedience to the empire and even come up to hand out treasures such as wine, which are extremely rare for the people of the empire.
Alan Bair rolled his eyes, he opened a can of Goromon and started eating. No matter what, even if the world was about to be destroyed, it could not stop him from taking in energy.
Put the can on the fire, and the dry wood will make a sizzling sound and a greasy aroma. In contrast, those knights can only eat dry and stone-like bread without servants and castles. , Gurgling sounds also began to come and go in the camp.
Even Queen Lilith only ate slightly soft bread and thick boiled cabbage soup.
Soon the Astra Militarum noticed the hungry looks and thirst the natives were giving them.
Alan Bayer couldn't help but put down the food, but he definitely didn't relent, instead he said. "Bring supplies for refugees."
The staff officer smiled bitterly. Those things were not considered human food. They contained nutritious porridge, emergency prayers, and food blocks that had been recycled more than three times. They were just things that could only guarantee vital signs.
However, he still asked people to get it honestly. When the knights saw the empire's magic soldiers bringing food, they looked anxiously at the queen and Captain Alan Bair.
Alan Bair also nodded. "Eat it, it will definitely be something you will never forget."
Queen Lilith could only nod. After all, the host had agreed. She wanted to reach out to get something, but Alan Bair held her back. "I'll give you individual soldier rations, don't eat that."
She didn't quite understand what individual soldier rations were, but was given a bottle of canned food and a few carbohydrate blocks. She looked at the other soldiers opening and tasting, and felt that the greasy food was not suitable for her, but found that she was tired. The body is extremely happy.
She blushed, thinking that she might not be able to maintain her figure, but she saw Alan Bair pulling the strange wizard with blond hair and a lot of metal in his body and shouting.
"Don't eat this, this is refugee rations! Isn't your ration enough?!" Alan Bair cursed.
The mechanical priest girl chewed the emergency prayer and the Emperor's life-saving brick that had been recycled three or four times as she spoke. "Taste, recorded, 10111000001…"
The ensign said, holding a fork and watching the excitement. "Boss, that's what she is like. By the way, Brother Catachan, why don't you leave it alone? He is ambushing the creatures in this world. This afternoon he has knocked down three land creatures of almost 7 meters."
"It seems that he has been activated by the biome here to become wild... Now he looks at my sentries with red eyes."
When the staff heard this, he immediately shouted. "A Sentinel?! Those are the property of the Empire!" Then he immediately ran towards the place where the armor was stored, hoping to get there before Sergeant Catachan...
Until the rumbling explosion appeared in the dark night, we still didn't know who successfully stopped the opponent.
Queen Lilith looked at her knight vomiting and lamented that the world was huge and full of living beings, but she could only stay in this narrow place.
A trace of scarlet flashed across her eyes, and she held the eight-pointed star necklace that had been covered in the dress...
Thinking about it, there is a heresy.
According to the imperial tax standards, this low-level feudal world is a third-level high-level one, so the taxes are not heavy. This can probably be understood as the Imperial Guard lining their pockets.
